TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates to serotonergic drugs, combinations thereof, and methods of using them for treating and preventing a variety of human conditions.

BACKGROUND

Many people worldwide are afflicted with psychological or mood disorders, such as depression, anxiety, compulsion, and post-traumatic stress disorders. Many of these conditions are believed to involve a person's serotonin system—including interactions between (A) the neurotransmitter serotonin (often abbreviated 5-HT) and (B) several different subtypes of serotonin neurotransmitter receptors found in the human body.

A variety of compositions are known to modulate activity at the serotonin receptors. A number of pharmaceuticals (antidepressants, serotonin reuptake inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, etc.) have become available. In 2014, the Better Communication Company projected the global market for drugs treating mental disorders to be about $77.1 billion by 2018, and register a five-year compound annual growth rate of 2.3% from 2013 to 2018. Almost all these pharmaceuticals target neurotransmitters, e.g., serotonergic receptors, adrenergic receptors, dopaminergic receptors, etc., and in different ways. All ten of the leading pharmaceutical products for treating mood disorders (such as depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and/or anxiety disorders) target serotonin pathways.

However, despite their unquestionable popularity and commercial success, the users of these pharmaceutical products are unsatisfied with their long onset times, severe side-effects, and poor efficacy. In many cases, these drugs are harmful to the user. For example, many people taking prescription drugs targeting serotonin report feeling suicidal thoughts, sexual dysfunction, fatigue, elevated blood pressure, blurred vision, abnormal heart rate, nausea, and weight gain.

So-called “magic mushrooms” are taken recreationally by millions of people in the United States. Psilocybin (also known as 4-phosphoryloxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine or [3-(2-trimethylaminoethyl)-1H-indol-4-yl] dihydrogen phosphate) is considered to be the most abundant psychoactive compound within a “magic mushroom.” Psilocin (4-hydroxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine) is considered to be the second most abundant compound. Many within the scientific community consider psilocin to be the only active ingredient in “magic mushrooms,” reasoning that psilocybin serves only as a prodrug and does not have activity itself. No conclusive studies have been conducted to support or undermine this theory.

Formulated and administered correctly, psilocin and psilocybin provide fast-acting and long-lasting changes to a person's mood. These effects can be accomplished with only minor side effects, low potential for addiction, low potential for abuse, and low risk of toxicity.

Currently the state of the art for psilocybin technology is not advanced. Despite a handful of studies utilizing purified psilocybin as a single active pharmaceutical ingredient, virtually no work has been done formulating psilocybin into drug products for treating mental disorders. Aside from a few studies on purified psilocybin, no efforts have been made to modulate its properties with formulating agents or other ingredients. No efforts have been made to formulate particular combinations or doses of psilocybin derivatives or combinations with other active molecules. No efforts have been made to formulate psilocybin into compositions capable of modifying activity at one or more neurotransmitter receptors.

The psilocybin arts focus primarily on cultivating and consuming mushrooms. Unfortunately, collecting and ingesting mushrooms can be dangerous because of difficulties distinguishing the desired mushroom species from similar looking species. For example, mushrooms of the genus Psilocybe are easily confused with toxic lookalikes. Mistaken identification of Psilocybe mushrooms leads to cases of serious illness and death every year.

Even when “magic mushrooms” are properly identified, those mushrooms vary greatly in terms of the concentration of psilocybin, psilocin, and other (often overlooked) active ingredients. Accordingly, administering a specific compound or a particular dose using mushrooms is not possible because of the variability in the chemical composition of mushrooms.

Additionally, even when “magic mushrooms” are properly identified, they are prone to contamination. Contamination can result in problems, such as unwanted side effects like “wood lover paralysis.”

Very little work has been done with psilocybin pharmacology because of the art's general understanding not to pursue psilocybin formulations. To the contrary, the current state of the art focuses almost exclusively on “magic mushrooms.” The highest authorities on the subject in the United States still maintain that psilocybin has “no beneficial purpose” and carries a “high potential for abuse.”

Until recently, very little work had been done in developing therapeutic methods comprising psilocybin. Recent efforts have shown that taking pure isolated psilocybin shows promise for treating several psychological conditions, such as post-traumatic stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and compulsion.

On Nov. 6, 2017 Newsweek Magazine explained the state of the art as follows: “Magic mushrooms ('active psilocybin') were used as experimental medical treatment in the 1960s, and some researchers are again looking to them for healing. For example, in a pilot study in 2011, mushrooms appeared to have a positive effect on cancer patients with anxiety. In 2016, a study demonstrated their use in treating depression.”

Because psilocybin research is a relatively small area, virtually no work has been done formulating psilocybin or studying the pharmacology of psilocybin, its derivatives, and new formulations comprising them. Properly studying, formulating, and dosing psilocybin and its derivatives would provide significant benefits in treating mood and neurological disorders, such as depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, compulsive disorder, and/or an anxiety disorder.

There exists a need for new compositions and methods comprising one or more of 3-(2-Dimethylaminoethyl)-1H-indol-4-yl] dihydrogen phosphate, 4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, [3-(2-trimethylaminoethyl)-1H-indol-4-yl] dihydrogen phosphate, 4-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethyltryptamine, [3-(2-methylaminoethyl)-1H-indol-4-yl] dihydrogen phosphate, 4-hydroxy-N-methyltryptamine, [3-(aminoethyl)-1H-indol-4-yl] dihydrogen phosphate, and/or 4-hydroxytryptamine in a precise dosage formulation.

There further exists a need for formulations combining these formulations with other molecules affecting the activity of neurotransmitters, e.g., serotonergic drugs like LSD and/or MDMA.

There exists a need for better methods and compositions for targeting and/or modulating activity at one or more neurotransmitter receptors. Recently, “magic mushrooms” and one molecule contained within them have shown potential application in this area. However, before these molecules can be made into effective treatments, they need to be properly studied and formulated into compositions that provide consistent and specific effects, e.g., particular activity at a neurotransmitter receptor.

Accordingly, the state of the art for psilocybin art has an unmet need for formulated psilocybin compositions. This need can be met by isolating and identifying the molecules in magic mushrooms and studying their activity using cellular pharmacology.

Lysergic acid diethylamide (“LSD”) is a synthetic serotonergic psychedelic. Like psilocybin derivatives, the psychedelic effects of LSD are mainly attributed to its potent partial serotonin (5-HT) 5-HT2A receptor agonism. The effects of LSD have been frequently investigated in the past in both healthy participants and patients. Several of these studies described robust and sustained effects of LSD in patients suffering from addiction, anxiety, and depression. The acute subjective effects elicited by LSD are mostly positive in humans. The compound 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a serotonergic drug that enhances serotonergic neurotransmission via release of 5-HT through the serotonin transporter (SERT). MDMA is also known to trigger oxytocin release which may contribute to its effects to increase trust, prosociality, and enhanced empathy.

Although psychedelics (e.g., psilocybin derivatives, LSD, DMT, and other tryptamines) have significant potential for treating many mood disorders, such treatment options often have side-effects which can be generally categorized as “dysphoria.” This dysphoric or unpleasant subjective effects include negative thoughts, rumination, anxiety, panic, paranoia, loss of trust towards other people and perceived loss of control, depending on the dose of the psychedelic drug used, the personality traits of the person consuming it (i.e. ‘set’), the environment in which it is consumed (i.e. ‘setting’), and other factors yet to be determined.

Acute negative psychological effects are considered the main risk of psychedelic substance use in humans. There is an unmet need for mitigating these acute negative psychological effects when administering psychedelic drugs to human subjects. There is an unmet need for methods which are capable of reducing bad drug effects while enhancing good drug effects to optimize a psychedelic experience.

Additionally, the compounds disclosed herein are often found in so-called “conjugated” or “derivatized” forms during chemical analysis. In one example, a psilocybin derivative is in the form of a glucuronide derivative in human serum assays. Enzymatic hydrolysis converts the glucuronide derivative into a non-glucuronide form. Prior to extraction, hydrolysis of the glucuronide derivative can be useful.

For example, one can deduce the concentration of psilocin by GC/MS by using beta-glucuronidase for liberating psilocin from its conjugated (aka glucuronide derivative form) in urine and then using MSTFA (N-methyl-N-trimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide) for derivatization of psilocin to its trimethylsilyl derivative.

GC/MS can be used for identification and quantification of psilocin in biological specimens.

Psilocin and psilocybin can also be identified by using liquid chromatography with or without tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). When using LC/MS, method derivatization prior to analysis is often not required. Liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry for analysis of psilocin and psilocybin in psychoactive mushrooms may also provide useful samples. All data indicates that the presence and amount of psychoactive compounds within naturally occurring samples is considered to be highly variable.
